Background: The gut microbial dysbiosis and gender differences in the pathogenesis of acne vulgaris have long been postulated respectively. However, there was no data about a genderrelated discrepancy in gut microbiota and microbial metabolism in acne. Objective: This study aimed at identifying the underlying gender-related difference in gut microbiota and metabolism in acne vulgaris. Methods: Fecal samples were collected from 43 acne patients and 43 age and gender-matched controls. Gut microbiota was analyzed by sequencing the V3-V4 region of 16SrDNA gene and microbial metabolites were quantitatively detected using gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Results: Compared with healthy controls, the men had a lower abundance of 18 microbes such as Butyricicoccus, Clostridium sensu stricto, Faecalibaculum, Bacillus, Lactococcus, Blautia, Clostridiales, Lachnospiracea incertae sedis, Ruminococcus at genus level. However, the female patients only showed increased Clostridium sensu stricto and declined Oscillibacter and Odoribacterin. Additionally, the disordered metabolism of fatty acids was identified in male patients, while the dysbiosis of amino acids metabolism in female ones. Conclusion The disorder of gut microbiota and metabolism in acne vulgaris was genderspecific, which supported the potential role of gender difference in the pathogenesis of this disease.

Objective:To detect the serum level of chitinase-3-like protein 1 (YKL-40) in patients with pemphigus vulgaris, and to analyze its correlation with the severity of pemphigus vulgaris.Methods:From January 2017 to May 2018, serum samples were collected from 38 patients with pemphigus vulgaris in Department of Dermatology, the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University, and those collected from 14 age-, gender- and body mass index-matched healthy volunteers served as controls. Serum levels of YKL-40 and Th1/Th2/Th17-related cytokines were detected by using Luminex ? 200 TM system. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare serum levels of cytokines between the patient group and control group; binary logistic regression was used to investigate factors independently related to the severity of pemphigus vulgaris; a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn, and the area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity were calculated to evaluate the ability of YKL-40 to predict the severity of pemphigus vulgaris. Results:Compared with the control group, the patient group showed significantly increased serum levels of YKL-40 (expressed as median[ Q1, Q3]: 15.22 [14.19, 15.93] vs. 13.64 [13.21, 14.63]μg/L, z=-3.88, P < 0.05) , interleukin (IL) -6 (2.05 [1.49, 4.21] vs. 1.57[1.38, 1.75]ng/L, z=-2.44, P < 0.05) , IL-7 (7.45[5.63, 11.63] vs. 3.77[2.21, 5.97]ng/L, z=-3.26, P < 0.05], IL-8 (6.59[3.60, 14.73] vs. 4.36[2.96, 6.53]ng/L, z=-1.96, P < 0.05) , IL-2R-α (509.08 [386.36, 757.67] vs. 336.44[309.86, 458.71]ng/L, z=-2.35, P < 0.05) , and C5a (100.35 [78.31, 140.84] vs. 72.08 [37.23, 82.08] ng/L, z = -3.04, P < 0.05) . The concentration of serum YKL-40 gradually decreased along with the reduction of lesion areas ( r = 0.63, P < 0.001) , and YKL-40 was independently correlated with the severity of pemphigus vulgaris ( P = 0.025, OR = 46.54, 95% CI: 1.61, 1 347.19) . The area under the curve of YKL-40 was 0.783 (95% CI: 0.613, 0.953) for distinguishing between patients with severe to extremely severe pemphigus vulgaris and those with mild to moderate pemphigus vulgaris. Conclusion:The serum level of YKL-40 is strongly correlated with the severity of pemphigus vulgaris, and has a potential value in predicting the severity of this disease.

Objective? To explore the effects of perioperative meticulous nursing in patients with video-assisted thoracoscope surgery. Methods? From January to December 2017, we selected 196 patients with video-assisted thoracoscope surgery at Chengdu Fifth People's Hospital as subjects by convenience sampling. All of the patients were divided into observation group and control group with the method of random number table, 98 cases in each group. Control group received perioperative routine nursing. On the bases of routine nursing, observation group carried out perioperative meticulous nursing. We counted the related indexes of postoperative recovery and incidence of complications, evaluate the Visual Analogy Score (VAS) as well as quality of life among patients between two groups at different time points after surgery. Results? The times of out-of-bed activity, extubation of catheter, indwell time of chest tube, time of anal exhaust and hospital stay of observation group were shorter than those of control group with statistical differences (t=25.492, 10.205, 7.132, 23.087, 11.063; P＜ 0.01). The incidence of postoperative complications of observation group was 8.16% lower than that of control group with a statistical difference (χ2=10.531, P＜0.01). The scores of VAS at 2 and 48 hours after surgery of observation group were statistically lower than those of control group (t=15.717, 21.229; P＜0.01). The scores of physical functioning, role-physical, mental health and social functioning of observation group one week after surgery were higher than those of control group (t=8.321, 8.232, 9.761, 9.507;P＜0.01). Conclusions? Perioperative meticulous nursing can effectively reduce the postoperative complications of patients with video-assisted thoracoscope surgery and relieve patients' postoperative pain which makes for patients' postoperative recovery and improving quality of life.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between Cutibacterium acnes (C. acne) ribotypes (RTs) on the skin surface and epidermal barrier function in patients with acne vulgaris.Methods:Sixty patients with acne vulgaris were enrolled in this prospective study from the Department of Dermatology, the Affiliated Hospital of Southwest Medical University from November 2018 to May 2019, including 23 males and 37 females, aged (21.6±2.6) years. According to the General Acne Grading System (GAGS) score, the patients were divided into three groups: 28 mild cases, 14 moderate cases, and 18 severe or above cases. Twenty healthy controls aged 18 to 30 years were recruited in the same period from the community, including 5 males and 15 females, aged (24.2±2.3) years. The VISIA skin testing device was used to detect the percentage of red areas and porphyrins on the facial skin of all subjects. The hydration of the stratum corneum (SCH), transepidermal water loss (TEWL), PH value and the skin surface sebum level on the facial skin were detected by CK system. The RTs of C. acne were further analyzed based on the 16s rDNA sequences. The correlation between the abundance of each RT and epidermal barrier function was analyzed using Pearson correlation analysis.Results:Compared with the healthy controls, the percentage of porphyrins [(41.69±23.10) % vs (61.33±24.27) %, t=2.98, P<0.01] and the percentage of red area [(26.71±17.13) % vs (67.97±15.22) %, t=10.78, P<0.01] decreased in the acne vulgaris patients. Meanwhile, the patients of different severity levels had decreased SCH ( P<0.01), but increased TEWL, pH value, and the skin surface sebum level ( P<0.05) compared to healthy controls. Six different RTs (RT1, RT2, RT7, RT12, RT13 and RT14) were found in both healthy controls and acne vulgaris patients with varying degrees of severity, while there was no statistically significant difference of C. acne abundance between the mild patients and the controls ( P>0.05). As the severity of disease increased, the abundance of the above RTs showed a changing trend, with the gradually decreasing abundance of RT1 and the gradually increasing abundance of RT2, RT7, RT12, RT13, and RT14 (all P<0.05). The abundance of RT1 was negatively correlated with pH value ( r=-0.33, P=0.04) and GAGS score ( r=-0.39, P=0.01). The abundance of RT2 ( r=0.39, P=0.02) and RT7 ( r=0.39, P=0.01) were positively correlated with GAGS score. The abundance of RT13 was negatively correlated with SCH ( r=-0.34, P=0.02) and positively correlated with TEWL ( r=0.30, P=0.05). Conclusions:As the severity of disease increases, the abundance of various RTs of C. acne on the skin surface of acne vulgaris patients shows a trend of gradually increasing or decreasing, and the abundance of differential RTs of C. acne is closely related to the function of the epidermal barrier.

Yellow fever virus(YFV)is one of the most important mosquito-borne flaviviruses in the world,causing about 200,000 infections and 30,000 deaths each year,with serious impacts on human health and economic development.Currently,there are no approved specific anti-viral drugs for YFV infection.On the other hand,antibody drugs are safe,highly targeted and effective,making them one of the most effective means of prevention and treatment of viral infectious diseases.This review summarizes the characteristics of YFV and the recent advances in the development of protective antibodies against YFV,and predict the priorities of future research and development of protective antibodies,which may offer a new line of thought for subsequent development of yellow fever virus-specific drugs.

Objective To analyze the levels of IgE,TNF-α and FeNO in children with acute attack of bronchial asthma and their correlation with the severity of bronchial asthma, so as to provide theoretical basis for clinical evaluation of bronchial asthma. Methods A total of 547 children with acute bronchial asthma treated in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from January 2020 to December 2020 were selected and divided into mild group (n=287), moderate group (n=186) and severe group (n=74) according to the severity of their disease. All the children's symptoms were controlled after treatment. The serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels in the experimental group were compared between the acute attack stage and the clinical control stage. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels and the severity of the disease. ROC curve of children with bronchial asthma was drawn to analyze the differential diagnosis value of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels in children with acute bronchial asthma. Results The levels of IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in acute stage were significantly higher than those in clinical control stage (P<0.05). The levels of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in severe group were higher than those in mild and moderate groups significantly (P<0.05). The levels of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in moderate group were higher than those in mild group significantly (P<0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO water were positively correlated with the severity of bronchial asthma (r=0.419 , 0.438 , 0.502 , P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC, sensitivity, accuracy and specificity of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO levels combined in diagnosing the severity of bronchial asthma in patients with acute attack was 0.938 (95% CI: 0.912-0.982 ), 83.47%, 92.06%, 94.28%. Conclusion The level of serum IgE, TNF-α and FeNO in children with acute attack of bronchial asthma is closely related to the severity of the disease, and combined detection of the three can be used to evaluate the severity of the disease in children.
